Hardware is a vendor lock-in. I can’t imagine sinking millions into a massive project and getting stuck with a huge bill.

Then, to migrate away you need all sorts of devops folks and the ability to deal with incompatibilities.

Uncertainty about pricing and the hardware bottleneck is a real problem for our users.

China makes cheap electric vehicles. Why can't American shoppers buy them?
> I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the site as well as any advice on how to grow it.

This is very cool

Things I would want:

1. Appropriate growing zone (ideally USDA hardiness zone low and high limit for Americans; others for other countries)

2. Filter by produces food

3. Needs pollinating partner; if so, what's appropriate (eg if you're looking at a Bing cherry it should tell you required and to get a Stella Ann, a Van, or a Black Tartarian; if you're looking at a Bavay's Green Gage it should tell you not required, but providing will double yield, and to get an Italian Blue Plum.)

4. Producing time-of-year

5. Water requirements (people in Arizona shouldn't grow rice)

6. Importation issues (many of these will be unavailable to a Floridian or a Californian by mail)

7. Sunlight requirements

8. Indoor appropriate

9. Container size if any

10. Soil acidity requirements

11. Filter by live plant vs seed vs whatever

12. Planting time of year
This is a good solution, but I'm having trouble estimating the power draw from charging all my fleshlights daily.

> Who do you think you are going to hurt between the less-than-30-person studio or the multinational behemoth?

Evidence indicates it hurt Sony far more than the developers.

> Are you going to refund the game today then buy it again tomorrow when the change is reverted? You might be hurting the developer even more.

Unlikely as Sony, the distributor/publisher is the party from whom refunds will be taken, the developer only gets paid after Sony takes their cuts.

> IMO Steam reviews should completely disappear as it's no longer an useful gaugfe of a game quality.

They might! This is a valid point and might be the opinion of Valve, too, if Sony or the publisher ask. They've done it before.

> Hell, I see people leave negative reviews to co-op games such as "I hAvE No fRiEnDs tO PlAy iT WiTh lOl." Are you stupid?

Yes, lots of people are very stupid, but that's not relevant here.

> Besides, buy the game, test it and if you don't like refund it.

How does one test a game when the publisher makes changes months after initial release? How is what you're suggesting here different from what you criticized a few lines above?

Don't worry for Sony, they'll be fine.

Some ideas: use different editors for different languages, or different color themes. Or another is to format code visually differently, for example when I write HTML I use double quotes, and when I write JavaScript I use single quotes, both are acceptable in both languages, but I feel like it helps keep them separate if I lean different directions within the expression allowed in the languages.

> The lack of integration is only solvable with the classic model "the OS is an application, there is a single unique environment for anything", so all apps are written as part of the sole system/framework from the most lower level to the highest end-user programming.

This is one reason why I wanted to design an operating system, although I also wanted to change many things from what other systems do, although there are also some similarities to features of other systems.

My ideas do involve better integrations between parts of the system (although different parts can still be individually reimplemented and replaced), and my ideas involve both low-level and high-level programming.

> Gnome SHell tried the narcissistic way, forcing people to see animations just for common windows switching witch surely have a kind of WOW effects for the kids, but far less interesting to work all day.

Sometimes animations may be helpful if objects are moving around on the screen and you want to easily see where they are moving to, but a lot of the animations are worthless and I would rather not see them. If an option is added to allow disabling all animations (and to adjust their speed), then that will be a good idea.

> However in Emacs anyone can craft a function in a snap and run it through M-x, in modern desktops it's a hard, long thing with much boilerplate.

It does look like a good idea, if anyone can craft a function and run it (which is also an idea of what I might intend in my operating system design). I don't use a desktop environment on my computer and do not use .desktop, although some programs do.
There's no contortion, there's blinders.

The PLO had ordered its military/paramilitary to not antagonize Israel, and they weren't. That was one of the keys to sitting at the negotiation table. And there had been a few false starts. Israel, in response to those false starts, entirely reasonably, left the table. But then there was a period of reasonable calm.

Palestinians are not attacking Israel - this isn't a war.

Hamas continued to have a militant and extremist position, which included attacking Israel.

^ There, answering your question, acknowledging that Hamas had and continues to attack Israel.

Now answer mine:

Why did Israel fund and prop up Hamas rather than the PLO who was working towards a peaceable situation?

Like you said, Hamas are attacking Israel. But the Likud administration sent them money and supported them.

Why?

Change Data Capture (and its use cases) is a well known topic in the data-engineering and streaming communities. Hence we didn't mention more about it. But we will add it to our future posts. Thanks for the feedback here!

Here goes some commentary on CDC use-cases:
CDC provides a reliable stream of database changes, enabling various use cases such as real-time alerting (e.g., fraud detection in banking), replicating OLTP data to other types of stores (OLAP, search, etc.) for real-time analytics and search, and implementing the transactional outbox pattern which exposes database changes to other microservices/apps (e.g., a bank exposing a raw feed of transactions to its rewards microservice, etc.).
They also often don't actually vent externally, they just cycle the air through a mesh (and maybe a carbon) filter and exhaust it back into the room.

Ask HN: Google search query for `scheme tutorial`?
I have always found Google search to be spectacularly good, especially compared with their predecessors or even things like Bing. But I recently ran a query that consistently gets a bad response and I'm wondering if its somehow due to my personal Google profile or if others see the same thing.

Now, I've noticed more advertising in the results, usually when searching for something that could be a commercial product, and a plethora of sponsored results. I'm not talking about that. The search I ran is for 'scheme tutorial'. The first result I get---even before YouTube videos---is Arun Muthu's Programming in Scheme — The Quick and Definitive Scheme Tutorial from 2020. It seems like a lovely tutorial, but it is only Part One, with no other parts.

The only reason I can see for its prominence is that it is posted on Medium. Of course, Part One is the only thing posted by Muthu.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

The deployment model is very different, and within that model, the capabilities are far different. Comparing Shelly's system to Vue really starts with understanding your requirements and long-term automation plans.

I think the key differences are in cloud requirements, control, and granularity. Price appears higher than Vue, though it's not when considering that Shelly is far more capable in all of the above categories.

The Shelly 3EM, which I use for split phase monitoring (in the US) at the meter is $109. That's not bad for its capacity, capability, and build quality. Mine is outdoors though enclosed (necessarily) so endures some pretty extreme temp swings and humidity changes. There is no cloud requirement, and it offers contactor control.

The Vue 2 from Emporia is built for a single indoor panel, provides no control over the circuits, and requires the cloud to operate unless you get out the soldering iron and reflash it with ESPHome, which isn't horrible, but the OOTB cloud requirement is your starting point. (I think that's still the case, but if I'm wrong, happy to be corrected)

For Shelly, their additional clamp solutions are all high-amp (50-100+) so not really designed to be put on individual circuits, especially at $50 per. You might use these on whole panels, breaking your whole house calculation down into zones by panel or monitoring high-amp devices.

If you tried to replicate the Vue with only these devices from Shelly, then yes, it would be an order of magnitude more expensive. But I don't think that's a good way to use them or the right way to replicate the Vue capabilities.

For the high-grained monitoring, it's hand-in-hand with control. Shelly's deployment model for fine-grained resolution is to put power metering down closer to the consuming devices, and with it, a relay for integration into home automation. You can add power metering along with control to outlets, switches, or hard-wired devices in house with things like the 1PM Mini G3 for $13 per.

In this sense, you get far greater granularity than something like the Emporia Vue which can get no higher resolution than a whole circuit. Here again it must be stressed that with Shelly, there's no cloud requirement for that price and you're also getting remote control of the power distribution. On the balance, you're getting far more for your money with this approach.

For my needs, I combine Shelly's approach with some cheaper sonoff/tasmota plugs with power metering for things like the washing machine (alarming mostly). But for more critical devices or always on devices (like freezers), or switched devices like ventilation fans or lights, I think the build quality and deployment model of the Shelly devices is a better fit.

But definitely different target audiences. If the Vue is the right fit, it's the right fit.

> to ensure in the anonymous crypto-anarchist utopia some users wish internet to be.

To be fair, there's a lot of those ideas I like. There's I think some naivety too, which I think you point out, but I'm glad these people exist. I think you need _some_ radicals (size is arguable) to push things in certain directions and challenge the status quo to ensure that we don't get stuck in our ways. Definitely seems like an optimal thing to have most people in a median and constant challengers, even if at times they are silly, it doesn't mean all their points are.

I think a good example of this might even be crypto currencies. There is definitely something to be said about the privacy of transactions and the power of government or any body has when they can see all your financial data. But this doesn't mean that MMT is complete bullshit and that there is something wrong with currencies not being on the gold standard.

Similarly, while I strongly support Section 230, I'm glad people push back against it. We need to be aware of its limitations and failures. Perhaps we can improve upon it (most certainly we can). But at the end of the day I'm on the side of Blackstone: It's better that $N guilty men go free than $M ($N > $M) innocent men be stricken of their freedom.

No system is perfect. It's unfortunate that we can't write laws to accurately codify the precise nature of our intentions (even if we removed much of the aggregation and wrote incredibly complicated laws) without erring in one direction or another (innocent being condemned, or guilty slipping free). It just means we need to approach things in a nuanced way and be aware that we need to tread carefully. So I'm happy radicals exist, but I also fear them gaining too much power.
I really don't get this. Most of these low cost providers actually re-rent GPUs from Azure, AWS or GCP (*), yet they offer much better on-demand pricing (as low as $3.8/hr for H100 sxm and $2.5/hr for PCIe).

And it's a fact that you can get even much better on-demand (not to mention reserved) pricing from the big clouds if you're a decent startup with connections.

If one of these clouds offered fair pricing to SMBs, it could be a great bottoms up growth strategy.

(*) Not LambdaLabs afaik, but they rarely have on demand capacity anyway, and you can only get reasonable price with 3 year reservation (which is, surprise surprise, more than the hardware cost).

> Any other vinegar product that uses blends of grape must and wine vinegar... isn't really in the spirit of balsamic vinegar. To sell such a blend and labeling it as balsamic vinegar feels like selling blended whisky as single malt whisky.

It can absolutely be described as balsamic vinegar, though. Even the protected (PGI) name 'balsamic vinegar of Modena' is a blend with wine vinegar. Only the PDO term 'traditional balsamic vinegar' forbids this.

It's interesting to know that there's a special kind of balsamic vinegar that I've probably never tasted. But even if that's amazing, I still enjoy the balsamic vinegar I can get in the supermarket, and that's what almost everyone means when they say 'balsamic vinegar'. Insisting that almost everyone using the term is misusing it feels like a weird form of elitism.

I saw a post on reddit a while ago that described this terrible situation:

...a kid was tasked with researching Peru "in the news." After 10 minutes I went to check on them and they had nothing done. They told me there was nothing about Peru in the news and showed me their Google search results. They had googled "in the news" only. They didn't include the word Peru in their search. Not only did they not use the technology correctly but they didn't ask for help or say anything after their one attempt to get information failed. They just sat there.

This is a trend we noticed early last year, so we started building a single console for all these clouds at https://shadeform.ai.

It has been amazing to watch this industry explode, and we believe it is great for consumers. The same instances on Amazon versus these alternative providers are 3x more expensive.

NVIDIA and many hardware providers are leaning into this trend. As clouds become more and more vertically integrated, AMD, NVIDIA, and others will benefit from spreading their hardware to more clouds.

Knowing that these models will not be running in 3 easily controlled clouds may also benefit us in the long run as each provider will have different levels of comfort with models of varying capabilities.
